A CHEF has come with a plan to help distribute supermarket food waste to the homeless in Glasgow.

The resident community chef at the Kinning Park Complex has been dishing out hot meals to the less fortunate thanks to his mobile 'Noodle Bar Bike'.

Danny McLaren, 34, along with volunteers at the Glasgow community centre are part of the Climate Challenge Fund (CCF) which sees them re-intercept food waste and repurpose it.

One of the kitchen volunteers started up a community meal on a Thursday at the Kinning Park Complex, which sees them taking in around 500 kilos of potential food waste per week and reusing it.

Now they hope to take the community meal out of the Kinning Park complex and into the city centre. 

Danny's Noodle Bar Bike has two insulated food containers, where the sides can come up as a table for someone to sit and enjoy their dinner. 

Speaking in a video uploaded by ThunderCannon5, Danny said: "Everyone says this is a mad idea but this is a project I have wanted to do for four or five years.

"It is an amazing feeling to see it works and do some good things with this.

"You've got to be aware though that people need their dignity and just because they are homeless they will take anything you give them."

Danny added: "When I've worked at restaurants, I always have stuff left over at the end.

"If every restaurant made up a set of takeaway tubs at the end of the night and had a messenger picking up up every night - no one would go hungry in the streets."
